New Names

The Rock Star has preschool on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00-11:00. He pretty much loves it and he's learning sooooo much. Today, when he climbed into the car and I dug through his bag to see what kind of papers he'd brought to me, I found a little piece with a drawing of an animal on it. Above it read: My Indian Name.

Not very politically correct but I still laughed.

Me: Garrett, did you pick your name or did your teachers give it to you?G: I picked it.Me: Did they give you a few choices or did you just come up with it off the top of your head?G: I dust come up wit it off the top of my head.Me: (laughing) Okay Happy Monkey.

I called Troy to tell him that our son's Native American name was Happy Monkey. He asked me to have Garrett give Little Buddy his own name.

Me: What is Matthew's Indian name?G: Um. Quiet Spider!Me: (into the phone) Matthew's name is Quiet Spider.Troy: Quiet Spider?Me: Yeah. I think it should be Noisy Spider but whatever.Troy: Or Barking Spider.

Umm, Lori, I think you posted a link to the wrong definition. I'm just saying, but I have heard that wikipedia has been known to be wrong every now and then. LOL. I had no idea there was actually a spider like that. I thought it was just a "guy" term.
